The Health of the Brain

The brain controls everything we do. If the brain is injured or looses dysfunction in any way our whole body suffers. The body is connected to the brain. When our bodies develop every movement, speech, sounds, touch, etc. all effect the brain in its growth and development. If the body is injured or has a dysfunction the brain is also affected almost in the inverse way as the brain affecting the body. So, to keep the brain healthy we must also keep the body healthy and in the inverse way to keep the body healthy we must keep the brain heathy. One of the best adages of health that I recall is, "If you don't use it you'll lose it!" This is a great saying for the brain and the body. Research on the brain is proving this daily check out http://www.dana.org/ for more information. One last tid bit about the brain. Nutrition directly affects our brain. Inflammation in our gut will show inflammation in our brain and so on. Eating orgainic foods is one of the best ways to improve nutrition without a lot of guess work. Hope we all can keep our brain and body healthy especially during the holiday's.
